ARC Raiders Weekly Trials Guide (May 4–10): Fastest Ways to Complete Every Trial
It's been over a week since ARC Raiders Riven Tides update, and many players are likely already familiar with the new content. After a week's break, ARC Raiders weekly trials are back, offering a series of brand-new missions for both new and returning players.
This week's trials run from May 4th to May 10th. There are five trials: Destroy Fireballs, Destroy ARC Enemies in Swamp (Dam Battlegrounds), Search Kitchen Cabinets, Damage Any ARC Enemies, and Deal Melee Damage to ARC Enemies.
This guide will explain each of these challenges in detail to help you better complete this week's trials.
How to Destroy Fireballs?
Fireballs are small, spherical ARC mechs designed for sustained close-quarters combat. When in attack mode, Fireballs roll towards their target and open their front panel, unleashing a long burst of flame from their flamethrower. Targets hit by Fireballs' flames will suffer severe damage.
Once a Raider catches fire, it will continue to take burning damage for several seconds, regardless of whether it stops attacking or has been destroyed. Therefore, Fireball Trial can be very deadly for novice players, but it should be one of the easier trials this week. Fireballs spawn on every map, so finding them shouldn't be difficult. Buried City is a good starting point.
When attacking, Fireball opens its front panel, revealing its unarmored core. While the core is fragile and can be destroyed by any weapon, the outer shell covering it is quite sturdy and requires heavy ammunition to penetrate. Light ammunition is ineffective against the shell and will bounce off.
It is recommended that players attempting this trial equip themselves with heavy weapons and use high-powered weapons like Ferro or Anvil to penetrate the outer shell. This should significantly reduce the difficulty of the trial.
How To Search Kitchen Cabinets?
This is a new trial in ARC Raiders. Some maps have very popular residential areas. In this trial, you need to go to these areas, enter the kitchen, and loot the cabinets. It sounds simple, but remember, these places will quickly become overcrowded graveyards because everyone will be doing the same thing.
Therefore, you need to know some places where you might encounter fewer looters. Without further ado, let's talk about the best looting spots on each map.
First, you can go to Ruby Residence and Pale Apartments in Dam Battlegrounds; both places have decent loot. Next is Buried City, which has the most residential buildings on this map. Players can start from Grandioso Apartments, head to Plaza Rosa, pass Red Tower, and finally reach Piazza Arbusto; this route should be the optimal path to complete the mission.
Finally, you can go to Blue Gate map; this Village area is practically designed specifically for this trial, with numerous cabinets.
How To Destroy ARC Enemies in Swamp?
Scoring in this trial is limited to destroying ARC enemies in Dam Battlegrounds Swamp area. So, to begin this trial, players need to enter Dam Battlegrounds and search the area around Swamp. Swamp isn't a single point on the map, but rather three separate locations in the southwest area of Dam Battlegrounds map.
These three locations all count towards the weekly trial objective, so you can freely move between them during the raid. While staying at one point and waiting for monsters to spawn is also an option, rotating between the three locations allows enemies to constantly move through the area, thus speeding up your progress.
These areas will spawn many different enemies, giving players plenty of options. Rocketeers and Leapers earn the highest score per kill, so prioritize attacking them if you want to finish quickly. Once you have enough kills, simply successfully withdraw to complete the trial. Remember to avoid engaging other Raiders.
How To Deal Melee Damage to ARC Enemies?
This is also a brand new trial where scoring is limited to dealing melee damage to ARC enemies in any map or under any conditions, with a minimum of 10 points and a maximum of 150 points. Before starting the trial, you'll need some ARC Raiders Items, plenty of stamina recovery items, and a weapon for self-defense.
You can use free loadouts in ARC Raiders, but for a high score, it's recommended to use some good gear. Here's a recommended item list:
- Survivor MK.3 Augment
- Medium Shield
- 5 Shield Rechargers
- 5-10 Bandages
- As many Adrenaline Shots as possible
- Any guns and ammo you want as backup
It's worth noting that the base health of ticks is insufficient for players to complete this trial by farming them. Therefore, players should choose to knock down or climb onto larger enemies and then unleash a barrage of melee attacks.
How To Damage Any ARC Enemies?
The difficulty of this trial is almost self-evident and frequently appears in various weekly trial events. Players can develop strategies, choose the type of ARC enemies they want to attack, and then go to their preferred map to complete the trial in any way they like.
This concludes this article. This is all the information players need to know about this week's ARC Raiders trial. Don't waste any time, go complete your trial, and we look forward to hearing good news. If you discover any better methods during the process, I look forward to your sharing.
